Chapter 2009: It’s Friendly Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth Mo Fan looked in the direction the roar came from and saw a striking creature glowing a sacred white standing on a peak there. Its white fur drifted wildly in the cold wind. It let out another deafening cry, as if it was going to trample every creature under its feet. “A fully white demon tiger. It must have a pure lineage!” Mo Fan took a deep breath. The Tianshan Demon Tigers they had encountered in the Alpine had stripes and markings on them, but the demon tiger on the peak was as white as snow. Its hair was giving out an indescribable sacred aura, and its muscular build was brimming with power and savageness! “It’s a Skyridge White Tiger, a true child of the Sacred Tiger!” Lingling’s eyes glittered like she had discovered something rare. “As expected of the Scar of Tianshan Mountain! I didn’t expect to see a creature as rare as the Skyridge White Tiger in person!” Nanyu exclaimed. “Lingling, how is the Skyridge White Tiger related to the Sacred Tiger of Tianshan Mountain? What about the Totem Beast we are looking for?” Mo Fan asked quickly. “The ancestor of the powerful Tianshan Demon Tigers is a Sacred Totem Beast. The purity of their lineage matters a lot. The Sacred Tiger of Tianshan Mountain who is rumored to have given some people special blessings must be the Sacred Totem Beast we are looking for, similar to the Black Totem Snake, to Baxia, and to the Deer God. However, according to certain records, the Sacred Tiger is significantly stronger than most ancient Totem Beasts. He must be close to the Emperor-level!” Lingling said. “So is the Sacred Tiger of Tianshan Mountain the strongest Sacred Totem Beast among the four?” Zhao Manyan asked. “No,” Jiang Shaoxu shook her head firmly and explained, “The Sacred Tiger of Tianshan Mountain is only a Child Totem of the four Sacred Totem Beasts that are related to the Kunlun Ancestor Tiger. Their relationship is similar to that between the Black Totem Snake and Baxia.” “What about this creature?” Mo Fan pressed. “It should be a level lower than the Sacred Tiger. However, just by looking at its fur, it’s obvious that it has been cultivating in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain for more than a hundred years. It’s weird that it has suddenly shown up close to the Frosty Ancient Eagles’ nest.” The powerful Skyridge White Tiger was roaring at the Frosty Ancient Eagles’ nests. A few of the ones with weaker support had even fallen to the ground! The Mages thought the nests only had a few dozen Frosty Ancient Eagles in them when they were observing the nests from afar, but everyone gasped when they saw the Frosty Ancient Eagles boiling out of the nests like angry bees! How did such a small nesting site contain over a hundred Frosty Ancient Eagles? How many Frosty Ancient Eagles would the bigger sites contain? Even though the Frosty Ancient Eagles were not Commander-level creatures, they were unusually strong. The Intermediate Mages among the mercenaries were like helpless little chicks when facing them! “They are going after the Skyridge White Tiger,” Lingling pointed out. The Frosty Ancient Eagles were enraged after their nests were destroyed. They flew at the peak where the Skyridge White Tiger was standing and circled it like a tornado of sheening feathers. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 The Skyridge White Tiger did not stay on the peak, and ran away across the irregular glaciers. It seemed to be exposing itself to the Frosty Ancient Eagles on purpose. It was running across the ridges and mountains, while making sure the Frosty Ancient Eagles could see it. The Skyridge White Tiger was surprisingly quick, and its jumping ability was shocking. It managed to jump from one hill to another even if they were a few hundred meters apart. The Skyridge White Tiger soon vanished into the woods deep in the mountain. The Frosty Ancient Eagles flew into the distance as they chased after the bold Skyridge White Tiger. “Is the Skyridge White Tiger our friend? It has lured many Frosty Ancient Eagles away for our sake,” Zhao Manyan exclaimed. “We should keep going and cross their nest then.” “It depends on the Senior Hunter’s decision.” Senior Hunter Yassen was hesitant. The Skyridge White Tiger might have lured many Frosty Ancient Eagles away, but it was still their nesting ground. It was difficult to tell how many Frosty Ancient Eagles had stayed behind, making it extremely dangerous! “It’s an opportunity for us. If we don’t take it, I’m afraid retreating is our only option,” Xing Hui said impatiently. Xing Hui was representing the Mu Clan. There had been many casualties among his men. If he did not return to the Mu Clan with any valuables, not only would he fail to be promoted to a core member, he might even be exiled somewhere far away. “Yeah, we are ready to face our death.” “Let’s go then. We are aware of how strong the Frosty Ancient Eagles are. I believe any group will most likely going to fail on their own, so I hope we can work together. No one wants to be wiped out here,” Yassen finally agreed. “Don’t worry, Senior Hunter, we are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope.” “Let’s go!” — The Skyridge White Tiger had lifted a great burden from everyone’s shoulders. The alliance advanced cautiously into a gully which blocked the view of the patrolling Frosty Ancient Eagles in the sky. They might be able to remain unnoticed if there were no high-level creatures patrolling the area. “Did you see that? It’s an Ice Fundamental Crystal!” “There are many pieces of Soul-grade Ice Seeds too...” “There seems to be Ice Elemental Diamonds on the nests. Oh my, I can’t take it anymore,” Bertan blurted out. The people were afraid of being discovered by the Frosty Ancient Eagles, yet they still had the urge to climb up to the nests and claim the shiny valuables. They had been to many places across the world, yet they had never seen Soul-grade resources woven into some demon creatures’ nests like they were just some insignificant pebbles. Mo Fan was desperate for money. Money was the huge difference between a grassroots Mage and the rich second generations. Mo Fan had used all his money to improve his cultivation and strengthen his abilities. He could not even afford magic Equipment, but everyone else on the national team, including Zhao Manyan, owned a full set of luxurious magic Equipment!
